2. Sensory neurons detect environmental stimuli, while motor neurons send impulses to muscles and glands.
3. The PNS uses the autonomic nervous system to regulate involuntary functions such as heart rate and digestion.
4. The PNS facilitates reflex actions and quick responses to stimuli.
5. It facilitates communication between the central nervous system and peripheral organs, allowing for coordination and control of body functions.
6. The PNS includes the somatic and autonomic systems that regulate voluntary and involuntary physiological functions in the human body.
